IMPROVEMENT IN CHURNS.

Specification forming part oLetters Patent No. 209,605, dated November 5, 1878; application filed September 20, 1878.

To all whom 'it may concern:

Be it known that I, HENRY BROWN, of Silver Lake, in the county of Kosciusko and State of Indiana, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Ghurns; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full,'clear, and exact description of the invention, which will enable others sk illed in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, and to letters of reference marked thereon, which form a part of this specification.

The invention consists of a series of dashers having oppositemovementafcr violently disturbing the cream and breaking up its globules.

In the annexed drawings, making a part of this specification, Figure 1 is a longitudinal vertical section of the churn. Fig. 2 is a transverse vertical section of the same. Fig. 3 is a perspective view of the dashers.

The same letters are employed in all the iigures in the indication of identical parts.

A is the box or barrel of the churn, in the middle of which is placed an oscillating dasher, B, attached to the frame B', which turns on stud-pins in bearings midwayr of the height of the box, allowing the dashcr B to oscillate freely on a central axis.

Dashers C G1 are placed on opposite sides of the central oscillating dasher, B, andare attached to and carried with the reciprocating connecting-bar G2, which is fastened by pins at the top of the central dasher, B. Other dashers, D D, similarly formed, are in like manner placed on opposite sides ofthe central dasher, and in such relative position that D shall be about midway between B and C, and Cl about midway between B and DI. The 1ast-named pair, D D, are attached at their lower corners to the connecting-bar D2, which is fastened by pins at the bottom of the central dasher, B. Theframe B is swung on its axis by the connecting-rod E, attached to a crank driven by gearing at a rapid velocity.

As the bars O2 and D2 are respectively attached to the top and bottom of the oscillatin g dasher B, it follows that a reciprocating movement in opposite directions will be communicated to the dashers C D. and O1 D1, the result of which will be that the cream will be violently dashed about and rapidly converted into butter.

What I claim as my invention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

The combination, with the box A, of the central oscillating dasher, B, and pairs of dashers C C1 and D D1, respectively connected with the top and bottom of the oscillating dasher, so as to receive reciprocating motion in opposite directions, substantially as set forth.

In testimony that I claim the foregoing as my own I aiiix my signature in presence of two witnesses.

. HENRY BROWN.
